Five New Skin Care Sensations

One beauty resolution we're determined to keep? Taking better care of our skin! Thankfully, there are some new products out there to help us stick to our goal. The best part: They work so well, we can put in minimal effort for maximum results.

1. Clinique Clarifying Lotions These aren't the same exfoliating toners your mom introduced you to as a teen. Recently modified with gentler, more effective ingredients (think salicylic acid, witch hazel, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid) Clinique's reformulated solutions keep our skin clear and balanced—even when used alone. (Sometimes, when we're too tired or lazy to use our foaming cleanser, we'll just do a cotton-ball swipe of this stuff. Shhh...).

2. La Prairie Cellular Power Infusion Debuting next month at fine department stores and shoplaprairie.com, La Prairie's high-tech anti-aging serum claims to go deeper than anything else on the market. Sold as a pack of four, each bottled solution is infused with powerful moisturizers, fruit extracts, and something called "lepidium sativum sprout extract," which is said to help prevent DNA damage. Whatever's in it, it seems to work—according to celebrity makeup artist Molly Stern, the concoction eliminates the need for foundation: "I used it on a client with just touch of concealer and her skin looked incredible," says Stern. "It was magical!"

3. Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase Finally! An affordable skin care line that works like a million bucks. Perfect for even the most sensitive skin types (it keeps our redness-prone skin looking creamy), the line includes everything from an SPF 30 day cream to a lip-firming salve. Look for it in Walgreens, Walmart, and Duane Reade stores next month.

5. Super Skin Nutrition Kit A firm believer in mixing nature with science for optimal skin benefits, Nicholas Perricone, M.D., created the Super collection, a Sephora exclusive. Plump with glow-inducing phytonutrients, you can get a sampling of the line's offerings with this well-packed lunchbox. Just launched online and available in Sephora stores tomorrow, it contains a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer.
